Cross-Sector Collaboration in Education Takes Center Stage on EdTech Mondays Tonight

The importance of cross-sector collaboration in transforming the educational landscape through technology is set to be highlighted as the latest edition of EdTech Mondays Radio Show airs tonight. 

The upcoming show promises an in-depth exploration of how partnerships among government bodies, educational institutions, non-profits, and technology providers can unlock new opportunities for equitable and effective digital learning

Airing at 8:10 p.m. EAT on Fana FM 98.1 and ten partner radio stations across Ethiopia, the June 2025 episode features Yabebal Tadesse, Co-founder and Scientific Director at 10 Academy, and Sofia Abdulkadir, Founder of Greatness School and CEO of Sofia Media. 

The panel will discuss how collaborations address common challenges like aligning priorities across sectors, securing long-term funding, and ensuring the equitable integration of educational technology across varying socioeconomic and geographical landscapes.

Listeners can expect a thoughtful conversation on how to make EdTech accessible beyond urban centers by tackling affordability, connectivity, and digital literacy. The panelists will also share real-world examples and lessons learned from their own initiatives. 

EdTech Mondays is part of an Africa-wide initiative launched by the Mastercard Foundation to encourage dialogue around the use of technology in teaching and learning. In Ethiopia, the show is locally produced by Shega Media and Technology in collaboration with the Mastercard Foundation Ethiopia office to reflect national realities and voices.
